At 2355Z, a call was received from the Melfort Saskatchewan RCMP detachment reporting an aircraft accident approximately 10 NM southeast of Melfort. It was reported that the aircraft involved was C-FJAV, an Ayres S-2R spray plane and that the sole occupant on board was a fatality. TSB investigators are enroute to the site. UPDATE The a/c was located in a wheat field adjacent to the canola field that the pilot had been spraying. It appears that the pilot may have experienced a stall because the a/c impacted the terrain in a near-vertical, nose-down attitude with very little forward speed. However, as part of the investigation, a bracket or housing of a joint in the elevator system was removed from the wreckage and sent to the TSB lab to determine if the damage to the housing was caused by impact forces and not metal fatigue.
